Gyro Console: all your cloud resources on one screen

1. What is Gyro Console?

My Services lists every service (hosting, domains, licences, servers…) in one list. Gyro Console splits your cloud resources by type; each type has its own list and detail page, like the consoles of the large cloud providers.

Open it with Gyro Console right below Dashboard in the left menu. If you have cloud resources, a one-line console summary also appears at the top of the Dashboard.

The overview shows:

• Summary: number of resources, resources that need attention and this month's estimated cost.
• Applications: one tile per resource type with count, status and monthly cost.
• Quick create: server, environment, load balancer, DNS zone, storage and monitoring; a click opens the Quick create window inside the console (Section 3).
• Recent activity and Developer access (API keys, documentation, gyro CLI).

2. Sections

New … at the top of each section (New group under Security Groups) opens the Quick create window inside the console, without the store (Section 3). Lists show 25 rows per page; on mobile, tables turn into cards. Filter lists by status, region, type and tag.

Status labels: Active, Warning, Suspended, Provisioning. "Warning" means, for example, renewal is less than 7 days away, a container alert is firing, a DNS zone awaits verification, storage quota is above 90% or a security group opens a management or database port to everyone.

3. Quick create: new resources without leaving the console (one or many)

Create resources in a few clicks without the storefront, cart or checkout pages. You can create many resources of the same plan (e.g. 22 container environments) at once.

1. Click New … in a section (or a Quick create shortcut on the overview). The window opens inside the console.
2. Choose the region (servers: Istanbul hourly prepaid, regions abroad monthly) and the plan. Cards show vCPU, RAM, disk and price: the amount in your account currency with the fixed euro price in brackets.
3. For servers choose the operating system and optionally a one-click app; for monthly plans choose the billing cycle.
4. Type a name (nickname). In a batch {n} becomes the sequence number: gyro-ecs-{n} → gyro-ecs-1, gyro-ecs-2… (without {n}, -1, -2 is appended). Optionally add tags (comma separated, e.g. production, web).
5. Choose the project (default: the project selected in the top bar) and the quantity (at most 25 at once; each is a separate service, all created in one order).
6. Check the Summary, tick the Distance Sales Agreement and Preliminary Information Form box and press Create.
7. The window shows the setup progress live (e.g. "18 / 22 ready"). You can close it; setup continues.

How is it paid?

• Prepaid resources (Gyro Cloud Istanbul, Gyro Containers): no invoice, usage is charged hourly from your balance. Your balance must cover the first 24 hours of the chosen quantity; the summary shows the amount needed and how many your balance covers. If it does not, use Top up balance, then continue in the window.
• Monthly/yearly resources (Gyro Cloud abroad, load balancer, Gyro DNS Pro, Object Storage, monitoring): paid from your balance when it covers the total, setup starts at once. Otherwise the order is created with an invoice and the window shows Go to payment; the resources are set up automatically once paid.
• New accounts are limited in their first days (e.g. at most 1 container environment in the first 7 days); the summary shows what is left. Open a support ticket to raise it.

The security group window only asks for a name and description; groups are free and created empty, add rules on a server's Firewall tab.

4. Naming and tagging resources

In lists and on the detail page, click the pencil next to a resource's name (Name it when it has none), type a name (nickname) and tags, and Save. The name becomes the title in lists and on the service page, with the Gyro product name and service number in small text below. Filter and search lists by tag. See Service names and tags.

5. Managing a resource

1. Click the resource name or Open in the list.
2. The detail page shows general information (type, region, size, operating system, IP, monthly cost), IP addresses and attached security groups.
3. The shortcuts in the Manage box (for example Console (VNC), Additional IP and PTR, Snapshots and templates, Change plan, Reinstall, Firewall) open the matching tool on the service page.
4. Back to Gyro Console at the top of the service page takes you back in one click.

The console never changes anything by itself; every action runs in the service page tools with the same permissions and confirmations. Invoices, renewals and service pages work as before.

6. Search

Type a server name, IP address, PTR record, domain, bucket, security group, nickname, tag or #service-id into the search box at the top (shortcut /). Results are grouped by section.

7. Using it with projects

When you pick a project in the project switcher in the top bar, the console shows only that project's resources: servers, IP addresses, containers and the rest are filtered. Security groups follow the project of the servers they are attached to. Switch back to All projects to see everything. See Projects.
